Trout Creek

Trout Creek offers a convenient boat ramp access point on the Clark Fork River in Sanders County, Montana. The site features a double boat ramp with an accessible boardwalk, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. This access point is ideal for launching day trips on the Clark Fork, a popular destination for paddlers and anglers exploring one of Montana's major river systems.

The Clark Fork River in this area provides non-technical, scenic floating with good potential for multi-mile floats. Popular trips from this area include an 11-mile float through pleasant pools and eddies, with the option to extend your journey to approximately 14 miles by continuing to Dry Creek. The river features longer, slower pools that are accessible for both fishing and recreational paddling. Two nearby campgrounds—Marten Creek and North Shore—offer lodging options for those planning overnight trips in the area.
